General Conference Notes

By


President Monson: Donate to the missionary fund.
Elder Perry: Make sure that you worship on the Sabbath. The Sabbath day is for us to draw closer to God.
Elder Cook: Be a modern day heroic woman. Appeal to the Lord when I face difficult circumstances that my trails will be consecrated for my good.
Elder Eyring: We have covenanted to help those in need. Ask yourself each day what good you have done in the world today. Don't just feel sympathy for those who suffer. Act on your covenants. Gain surplus so that you can serve others by spending less than you make.

Make 72 hour backpacks

Elder Nelson: The world is crazy, but we have no need to fear. Do what is right. Keep the commandments. Pay tithing. The storm clouds may gather, but we will be joyful as we keep the commandments and walk uprightly. Fear not. The future is as bright as your faith. Covenants help us to face the future with faith.

Elder Oaks: Desire can be trained. Desire, labor, and faith work together. Am I prepared to have my eternal judge attach the desires of my heart to my eternal judgment? As we give priority to the most important things in life, we can readjust our desires. Adjust your desires so that you are on the track to become like Christ and find eternal joy. Always ask, "Where will this lead?"

Elder Ballard: Small and simple things turn into the major events and experiences of our lives. Do not overlook the gold flecks God sends because you are so busy becoming discouraged that you do not have large golden nuggets.

You're Eyes Are Beautiful!

By
The other day, I was wandering around a health fair that David had a booth at for our business. (Music is good for your health, okay?!) Anyway, I was chattin' it up with people I knew and meeting some people who had recently joined our music studio. For awhile, I just walked aimlessly following my kids as they went from booth to booth collecting goodies. Out of nowhere, this lady walks right up to me, a little too in my bubble for comfort, but says, "You're eyes are beautiful!" And then walked away just as quickly as she came. I stood there for a second maybe wondering if I had just imagined it. It was so quick that I didn't even respond. I just stood there. In spite of the randomness of the moment and the briefly uncomfortable feeling of being confronted, it put a smile on my face and I am still thinking about it almost a week later. Be kind to other humans. Even if it makes you a little weird.

Living Happily...

By
Oh, New Year.  How I have missed you.  Thanks for reminding me to get it together, old friend. This year's theme ideas: Enough. I have enough. I know enough. We make enough. It's time I start to believe it. WOW 2015! ( Word of Wisdom reboot) Simplify...everything... Stop Spending All The Money, Denae...Shopaholics' Anonymous? Be nicer. Okay...so I have a lot I want to work on.  Isn't that what January 1 is for? Here's what I've decided, and then I'll tell you how I got there: Theme: Living Happily Goal #1: Prioritize People and Memories over Money and Things Goal #2: Nourish & Strengthen Body Goal #3: Be Nice The past couple of years have been interesting and exhausting and nothing that I imagined they would be. I don't know if it's because I became a mother, or if I am just facing that mid(ish)-life panic--that people talk about--of wondering where I went wrong, but I've been struggling.  Church. Organization. Feeli...

Choose Your Hard

By
I've recently started a new life chapter. And let me tell you...some days it. is. hard. Things that are hard for me lately: Three kids! We are really loving on Beckett and his sweetness. He adds so much to our family, and we adore him. But...have you ever tried to get out the door with three kids and all their junk? Two kids in diapers for awhile more is special. I wipe so many butts. Eerrrrryday, people. So so so much poop. The shoes are always missing. The five-year-old is always having some kind of early-life crisis. The two-year-old always needs fruit snacks opened and his blanky to be found. The babe wants a boob. It's busy.

I returned to work again after taking off several semesters. I actually do enjoy working with my students and being on campus, but...work. G...
